Sitlsa as n Summer Resort.

The old Russian town of Sitka, in Alas
ka, has already acquired celebrity as a
summer resort, and the stream of travel
thitherward increases apace. A splendid
steamer, the finest on the Pacific coast,
now makes fortnightly trips in twelve
days, and table Injuries are supplied now
which were lacking year or more ago.
Last year large number of public officials,
including the Chief Justice of the United
States Supreme Court, made the excursion.
moved by curiosity to learn the real truth
regarding our new Territory and
its wants and capabilities, and also in
cited by the multiplied descriptions and
photographs Of its marvellous scenery.
This season the miscellaneous rush of tour
lists has not only been much increased. but
we find that several of our members of
Congress have been prompted to make
personal investigation Of problem which
has long been before our National Legis-
lature. We hope, therefore, from what we
are sure they must report, that Alaska will
next winter receive that legislation which
she has so long prayed for, and that her
political and industrial disabilities will be
removed.
Those who visit Sitka in 1887 find very
much of the old rust and rubbish removed.
Eyesores which distigured the town for
almost twenty years have disappeared.
The quaint and very picturesque Greek
Church has been refurnished within and
without, at a stated cost of $4,000; the
public buildings have been restored, or at
least partially repaired the old Russian
bath houses at the neighboring hot springs
have been replaced, and sanitariam es-
tablished; the Indian River Park has been
embellished; the ascent of the extinct
volcano of Mt Edgeeomb has been made
easy; excursion steamboats, run to the
Lake Mountain Mines and ply among the
islands; balls and hops on board the mail
steamers and naval vessels, as we'll as
ashore, are OF regular occurrence, and
the Indian ceremonies and performances
add TO the interest and gaiety of the pass
ing season.
Last year several yachting parties from
San Francisco, Chicago and Seattle passed
very agreeable weeks and months at the
old Russian capital, and every monthly
steamer brought artists of both sexes To
transfer the inimitable scenery of the arch
ipelago to canvas and camera Some pho,
tograpbers obtained complete sets of the
most picturesque and interesting places
along the entire coast. On the whole
Sitka is lively and interesting place, and
those who have read Mr.. Hallock's graphic
work entitled sour New Alaska" will
feel assured that none who make the ex
cursion to that far-of locality will be dis
appointed or regret the journey The
trout begin to run by the middle of July
and are at their best in the month o
August. Some shooting of bay birds ant

Give Them "a Chance,

That is to say, your lungs. Also all your
breathing machinery. Very wonderful
machinery it is. Not only the larger air
passages, but the thousands of little tubes
and cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked with
matter which ought not to be there, your
lungs cannot half do their work. And
what they do, they cannot do we'll.
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, are all bad. All ought to
be got rid of. There is Just one sure
way to get rid of them. That is to
take Boschee's German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at rs cents bottle
Even if everything else has failed you, you
may depend upon this for certain.

Why Parents Should Keep q Yigilant Eye
ON Their Do.ngs
A young lawyer. taking short cut
to dinner one hot summer day, passed
through disreputable street plentiful
ly supplied with groggeries and Sec
ond-hand clothing-shops. In front OF
ore of the latter he saw a stylish per-
ambulator, well furnished with such
heecy robes and embr oidcries as are
lavished upon the ch ildren whose faith

from the midst of the luxury came
walls of agony. which touched the SYM

that Flora Flanagan, the nurse, must

Then. with great anger swelling his
breast, he trundled his first-born home,
leaving Nora to endure the shock of

resides no longer under the roof of the
young lawyer.
Another case: A 'tired mother"
with her fifth child intrusted it to the
care Of a good-tempered. strong young
girl for daily fresh air. One day baby
and nurse were both taken sick with
similar symptoms. Nurse was sent to
her mother for care, because two sick
people were too many for that busy
house. In few days two well-deyel-
oped cases of smallpox alarmed the
respective homes. Fortunately the
end was not tragic, but there were

SPECULATIVE BANKING.

AnOuSute SuS$eSteo Oy the 1seeenS FAIL
ure Of . Trusted Cincinnati Bank.
There are certain unwritten as we'll
rs writton rules in the banking BUSH
nesH. and one of them is that the OH
GERS of bank, who control the dis
position of the funds of the bank. sn.,is
not use them for speculative purposes.
Legally. the money in bank does not
belong to the depositOrs. but morally
and in good conscience it does. aud
there is an implied contract between
the depositors and the bank that the
latter shall use the money placed there
for legitimate business purposes.
The failure of the Fidelity National
Bank of Cincinnati for some SC. O00, OOOs
is striking commentary upon the
danger of intrust;ng money to an in
stitption whose officers have been
seized with the mania for speculation.
In response to the demand of the Bank
Examiner for statement, the Fidelity
Bank furnished one showing II balance
on hand of $l,160.O00; but when he
called for view of this money he.
found that $500, 900 of it was repre-
sented by lead-pencil memorandum
bearing the names of Wiltshire. Eckert-
& Co.. and nothing more: and it is said
that Wiltshire used $1,000. 900 of the
banks money, and that collatcrals for
other loans were hypothetical in New
York and elsewhere. 1t is thought.
that Wiltshire was in reality acting for
Harper. the v;ce-president of the bank.
and that he did not not really borrow
the money, bat allowed his name to be
used to cover up Harpcr's doings.
The failure of this bank has its lesson
for similar institutions elsewhere
whose officers are using the money az.
their control for purposes of specula-
ton. So long as ti,ev are on the right
side of the market they can keep til ir-
tracks covered: but once let TIE tide
turn and it sweeps them away to ruin
and disgrace. Were this all, 10 one
would care. If a reckless Spectator
goes down, he gets and deserves no
sympathy. But it is not ali. When
the ruin of bank is brought about in
such way. its fall drags down hun
drcds of perfectly innocent people who
arc entirely guilt:css of speculation.
and whose only fault has been over
confidence in the integrity of the Off
GERS of the bank. Legitimate bust
ness is paralyzed. bankruptcies cnsue.
and an entire community is shaken
all because OF tile vice of few men in
whom the public has had confidence.
1t is simply the height of folly to in
trust money to any bank whose man.
ayers or prominent officials are given
to speculation. 1t is as foolish to give
the custody of ones funds to devotee=
Of faro-table or monte-baDk. and
expect him not to stake those funds
upon the turn Of cs--d. Spectators.
and gamblers arc exchangcablc torms-
differing only in degree. not in kind.
and of the two the money Of thir,t
person is probably safer in the hands
of a professional gambler than in those
Of speculative bank officers. for there
is some sense of honor among the
gambling fraternity. but among de-
fsulting and embczziing bank officials
there is none whatever.-S1n FrGss--
